England game

Just curious, would you be happy for your partner to go out to watch the England v Mexico game tonight at 1am when you are 12 days post partum and still working out the nights together and exclusively breastfeeding? He’s leaving at 10.45 and probs won’t be back until 3ish I’m not sure maybe even longer. He normally does the first half of the night I don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep tonight as he will most likely end up falling asleep when he gets in rather than helping out.

As long as he wasn’t drinking heavily and still going to help when home I wouldn’t be bothered. I was home alone with the baby and toddler due to my husband’s work and I found it easier on my own sometimes and a confidence booster xx

No absolutely not x

That would be a no from me. He can watch it from home whilst taking care of his baby. Your body is not fully healed yet either and this little human is his responsibility as well. x

Not 12 days pp it’s not like he has to go out if there is a TV at home.

There’s a tv at home

No, I would not. Especially with that fresh of a baby and you just about recovering. Should just watch it home x

Mums who have been through all the baby stages

Which stage did you find yourself wishing away the most? Not necessarily which was the hardest bc for example a certain stage might be hard but also really rewarding which counteracts the hard bits. Which stage was overall your least favourite? Please let me know all the details in the comments 🙏 What was hard, what was good?

Free stuff?

I’m 21 weeks today and so far haven’t explored any of the freebies. I tried to sign up for one of them but it ended up wanting all my details and I ended up getting nothing. Which are easy and actually worth while?

When does it get easier!!!

Parents of older children, what age did you find life got easier? My toddler is 2 and 1/2, everything seems like a fight, getting dressed, brushing teeth, eating dinner, leaving anywhere like the park, tantrums are constant!! It’s honestly exhausting and getting me down. What age did people find everything just gets a bit easier???? I know there is an end in sight but just curious when 🙈

Inconsolable crying

We had our baby on 1st July at 39 weeks via csection because she was breech.

At 6.8lbs she’s healthy and has been doing well.

I’m trying to breast feed which is generally going alright, though she doesn’t have a great latch. I have a lactation consultant coming Monday.
Yesterday she would give feeding queues and then not latch, so feeds were harder.

At night she was inconsolably crying from about 12:30 am until about 4:30 am. I’d changed her nappy, her clothes for comfort, I tried feeding, we rocked and bobbed, walked around, skin to skin, shushed and sang, checked her temperature and just had no luck.

It’s horrible to see her get so upset and worked up, when I know she’s too young to get colic too. Just wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences? I’d hate to miss a sign something is wrong.
